Allen Design Team have delivered an all-encompassing concept for the cancer charity, with Jess Ennis-Hill and BBC jumping on board. Weston Park Cancer Charity launched its #BeyondTheTreatment campaign, seeking to deliver an enormously worthwhile upgrade to Weston Park Hospital cancer wards that goes way beyond the NHS standards. Setting out to provide its inpatients and […]

Setting out to provide its inpatients and their visitors with everything from wi-fi and entertainment facilities to comfort lighting and digital equipment, the campaign’s unveiling saw significant press attention. BBC and ITV crews, as well as leading print outlets, were present for the event, covering patron Jess Ennis-Hill’s delivery of the ambitions and ethos of #BeyondTheTreatment.

“It’s all about a close relationship and a personalised service”, says Anthony Allen. “We know that most agencies will say the same thing to land an account, but the advantages of going with us are very apparent to our clients”. The result is concept, creation and implementation that benefits from the creative input of the entire business.

Allen Design were able to deliver a wide-ranging concept. The background of their staff encompasses everything from traditional graphic design and marketing taglinery to web design, blogging and social media; a wide-ranging skill set that condenses what is generally the work of several departments into a cohesive unit, all operating out of an office in Attercliffe.

With what will no doubt be a far-reaching and successful campaign, #BeyondTheTreatment is a fitting example of the Allen Design Team’s forte: providing a big impact across many platforms and media; going way beyond mere design.

As a motorway service operator, Roadchef are open 24 hours a day throughout the year at 30 locations in the UK visited by 44 million customers every year.

UKWSL asked us to work closely with themselves and Roadchef in delivering waste recycling POS stations and supporting marketing materials. The installation of new bin systems to improve the waste management process ensure customers recycle as much as possible, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.

From initial design concepts, manufacture and installation of large freestanding internal and external POS waste stations by our own in-house team we were able to create impact and clear direction for waste recycling. External car park lamp post banners, bin stickers and other supporting materials reinforced the recycling message to customers as they arrived and continued their visit through the centre.

After a successful trial period at the Roadchef flag ship service area Norton Canes we are delighted to announce further expansion of the waste recycling stations to several other Roadchef service areas within the UK.

We look forward to working with UKWSL and Roadchef in the coming months to bring the recycling waste stations to other parts of the country.

Eca Brand Strategy and marketing

15th October, 2015 • No Comments

Having recently finished a complete brand refresh and web build for Energy Cost advisors (Eca Group) we have now been retained as their outsourced marketing team.

Like many companies out there Eca have reached a point where they have some great tactical tools and a desire to grow but they lack marketing expertise, after all they are experts at energy supply that’s what they excel at.

While we were working with Eca on the re-brand it became clear that the company was keen to up weight their profile presence through marketing but don’t have the skills or resources in house to deliver a comprehensive campaign of this nature.

Recognising the difficulties of building a marketing team internally from scratch and the costs and risk attached to this Eca began a dialogue with us because they were aware that we offer an out-sourced marketing service.

In negotiations it became apparent that our TM Absolute branding process was exactly what they were looking for. The process keeps your brand on track and is easy for non- marketers to understand

“Since we have appointed Allen Design Team to handle our marketing the benefits have been clear to see, like many companies in our position we realized that we needed marketing but honestly didn’t know where to begin!

We knew that our brand image was tired and no longer relevant so our starting point was to look for a company to update the logo and re design our website. We were very close to making an appointment when Anthony made contact, what he had to say struck a chord and so we allowed him to present to us. To be honest we were blown away by what he had to say it was also very refreshing to have our thinking tested and challenged in a totally positive way, that was what made Allen Design Team stand out we really liked their approach, it was clear that their experience in all aspects of running a business has welded together and they totally get it!

Allen Design Team have completely changed our approach to marketing, structured marketing meetings have become an integral part of our business process, we now have a comprehensive program of sending regular targeted communications that are aligned to our business objectives and are just starting to grapple with social media.

It’s early days but already we have seen positive effects in the form of lead generation which is after all what we were really looking for.”
